When Irish eyes are not smiling - Anne Lapedus Brest

Condition: New 

Can words said so many years ago affect a life?
Can being abused lead you to drugs, alcohol, suicide?
Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will ALWAYS hurt me.
Bones mend, but the pain caused by abuse lives on forever .
Two girls, two different stories ~ but they lived them together.
Behind their constant laughter and gaiety, lay their hurt, their pain, their anxiety.
